The issue
Certain restraint systems do not comply with the fit requirements of CMVSS 213.1 - Infant Restraint Systems. The labels affixed to the restraint systems indicate that the units are recommended for rear-facing use by infants whose weight is between birth and 13.6 kg and whose height is between birth and 76 cm. It may be impossible to follow the manufacturer's instructions and adjust the shoulder harness straps at or below the shoulders of certain low birth weight new born infants for a snug fit. In this situation, smaller occupants are at greater risk of injury or death during a vehicle crash. Correction: Britax will supply owners with revised labels and instruction manual inserts that reflect a new minimum weight use limit of 2.3 kg and new fit recommendations.
